No Nobel In Mathematics


Here, a brief post on why, perhaps, there is no Nobel Prize in mathematics:

The Fields Medal, Abel Prize, and Wolf Prize are three awards that somewhat substitute for a Nobel in math. (The Fields, presented every 4 years, will next be awarded in 2014, while the Abel and Wolf Prizes are generally awarded annually.)
